Just what carbide bur employed for? Carbide Burs bring cutting, shaping, grinding and for the removal of sharp edges, burrs and excess material (deburring).
For drilling holes or cutting an opening in metal then the carbide drill or perhaps a carbide end mill, carbide slot drill or possibly a carbide router is required rather than carbide burr. For carving into stone you’d ideally make use of a Diamond Burr.
Carbide Burrs May be used on Many Materials
Tungsten Carbide burrs may be used on many materials: metals including steel, aluminum and cast iron, all types of wood, acrylics, fibreglass and plastics. When utilized on soft metals including gold, platinum and silver, carbide burrs are ideal as they lasts quite a while with no chipping or breaking.
Steel, Carbon Steel & Stainless Steel
Surefire
Aluminium
Titanium
Cobalt
Nickel
Gold, Platinum & Silver
Ceramics
Fibreglass
Plastic, Graphite Reinforced Plastic (CRP), Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GRP)
Brass, Copper & Bronze

Wood
Different cuts of carbide burrs is going to be suitable to a particular materials, see the next point below to discover more on the several cuts.
Exactly what do You have Carbide Burs In?
Ideally carbide burrs are used in Air Tools i.e Die Grinders, Pneumatic rotary tools and also speed engravers. Micro Motors, Pendant Drills, Flexible Shafts, and hobby rotary tools say for example a Dremel.
Always use a handpiece that runs true i.e with no wobble.
Who Uses Carbide Burs?
Carbide burrs are trusted for metalwork, tool making, engineering, model engineering, wood carving, jewellery making, welding, chamferring, casting, deburring, grinding, cylinder head porting and sculpting. And are found in the aerospace, automotive, dental, metal sculpting, and metal smith industries to mention only a few.

Burs (burrs) appear in a number of shapes and forms, which can be used as different purposes:
Arch ball/pointed nose – engraving, texturing, increasing hole size
Ball – concave cuts, hollowing, shaping, carving. A good choice for wood, stone, metal engraving.
Ball nose cone – rounding edges, surface finishing, tight spaces, and angles.
Carbide Ball nose cylinder- contour finishing
Ball nose tree (also called tapered) – concave cuts and rounding edges
Cone – rounding edges, surface finishing, tight spaces, tough to reach areas.
Cylindrical – contour finishing and right-angled corners
Cylindrical end cut – contour finishing
Carbide Cylindrical no end cut – contour finishing
Flame – channel work and shaping
Inverted cone – v-cuts and rear-side chamfering
Oval – die grinding and engraving
Pointed tree – concave cuts, rounding edges, access to hard-to-reach areas, and acute angles.
Rounded tree – concave cuts and rounding edges
